Songtext zu ' Diamond In The Rough ' von Aladdin (Musical)

[Jafar]
You're the one that I need
You're nimble, stealthy, skilled
Do you want to continue abusing those skills
Stealing bits of bread and worthless bobbles
Or do you want to make a name for yourself
And do something that would make any mother proud

You have the profile of a prince
With a physique that matches
Beneath the dirt and patches
You are a diamond in the rough

I say we work together since
You're braver then which you are
We're just as shocked as you are
That you're a diamond in the rough

[Aladdin]
Hey I'm no diamond in the rough

[Jafar]
Under the filth and the fleas there are gifts
That you've been neglecting
And truth be told you are not quite the guy
That we were expecting
And though you might need finesse
And perhaps some disinfecting
You'll be the one who succeeds
When the lamp of their needs collecting

Uh, I dunno guys, I've got a funny feeling about this
I better just be on my way
Take one step and die you brainless miscreant

[Iago]
Happy place

[Jafar]
Apologies
What I meant to say is
You just don't know how swell you are

[Iago]
You just don't know how swell you are

[Jafar]
So far the only hitch is

[Iago]
There's just an itty bitty hitch

[Jafar]
You're an embarrassment of riches

[Iago]
Embarrassing too true

[Jafar]
You are the diamond in the rough

[Iago]
Let's all rejoice the spooky voice said you're the diamond in the
Rough

[Jafar]
Look here's the diamond in the

[Iago]
Three cheers, the diamond in the

[Jafar & Iago]
We found the diamond in the rough

[Aladdin]
You better find somebody else

[Jafar]
There is nobody else

[Iago]
Talk about the girl

[Jafar]
Oh
Then, of course there's Princess Jasmine
It's clear she took a shine to you
But, let me be frank
With no cash in the bank
You'll never win her heart
It just tears me apart
To see her slip right through your fingers

[Aladdin]
Which way is this cave of yours?

[Jafar]
That a boy!
Go
Through
You
Might be a bum
But you're one
Of noble spirit

[Iago]
It's just a cave that might eat you alive
No need to fear it

[Aladdin]
Well it's a risk that I might have to take

[Jafar & Iago]
We're glad to hear it

[Jafar]
So please no missteps or blunders

[Iago]
Cue the Cave of Wonders

[Jafar & Iago]
We've waited long enough

[Cave Of Wonders]
Who disturbs my slumber

[Aladdin]
Uhh, it is I, Aladdin

[Cave Of Wonders]
You are the diamond in the rough
The one whose worth lies deep within
You may enter

[Aladdin]
I don't believe it
My mother always said if I only applied myself
If I only believed

[Jafar]
We don't have time for self-discovery
Fetch me the lamp
Now!

[Aladdin]
Wish me luck

[Jafar]
Luck!
Goodbye you diamond in the

[Iago]
Please try you diamond in the

[Jafar & Iago]
Don't die you diamond in the rough

[Jafar]
At last
